The Public Defender settled the sixth case in a row involving alleged discrimination on the ground of health status in the service sector. This case is particularly important because the settlement provided for the first time compensation for moral damages, which is a significant step forward in improving the rights of alleged victims of discrimination.

The parties fully complied with all the conditions stipulated in the settlement. It should be emphasized that the use of an alternative dispute resolution mechanism, such as settlement between the parties, contributes to a quick, constructive and less formalized resolution of the conflict, which is one of the most effective means of protecting human rights.

The Public Defender will continue to actively use the settlement mechanism in cases of alleged discrimination.
